Everything

It happened right in front of me. One second we were singing happily on the streets with people around us, and the next second, Min Ki is lying on the ground, a pool of blood spreading out from under him. I just stood there, completely oblivious to the screaming and people running around. The ambulance comes and paramedics check his pulse before putting him in a body bag. "Agassi, would you come with us please?" A couple of men ask, flashing their detective badges. I follow them to the police station and endure an hour of them asking questions when my best friend had just died. No matter how much I wanted to cry, I couldn't, not even one tear escaped my eyes. They finally let me go and instead of going home, I go to the apartment building that appa owned. I don't go to the office, I go up to the roof, numbly staring up at the bright blue sky, remembering when me and Min Ki had played Cloud Shapes up here. Stumbling to the cement wall that was between the floor and air, I climb on top of it, not wanting to live if Min Ki was gone. He'd been my only solace from the horrible things that had and have been happening in my life. Now that he was gone, I didn't want to endure these feeling all alone. Closing my eyes, I imagine him laughing at me for some stupid reason and I feel a tear finally escape down my cheek.
Sungjae
Me and Peniel were sitting on the platform on the roof doing our homework behind the laundry when the door squeaks open. Peering through the sheets, I see a girl in a white dress walk over to the wall, staring up at the sky. "Ya, ya! Look at this, isn't this sad? It happened just a few hours ago." Peniel shoves a newspaper in my face and I grab it from him, reading the headline. Street Singer Is Shot While Singing With His Friend, my eyes travel down to the picture of this guy lying on the ground face first with horrified people standing around him. I notice someone standing next to the dead body and it's a girl wearing a white dress. She was just staring down at the body like she didn't believe it, like she was numb to the world. Holding up the newspaper, I look in between it and the girl that was at the wall. Dropping the newspaper, I see her climb on top of the wall, closing her eyes as a tear leaves a track on her cheek. Jumping up, I run towards her with Peniel on my heels. Grabbing her waist, I pull her back and we fall to the cold cement, her hands clenched my shirt as she shook. "G-gwenchana? Chebal, gwenchana?" I ask as Peniel just stands there looking down at us. "Aren't you So Haru? You're in my homeroom, right?" He asks and her head barely turns, looking up at him. Getting off of me, she doesn't answer him, about to climb onto the wall again. "Ya! Neo michyeoss ni? (Are you crazy?)" Peniel grabs her waist, pulling her down and quickly hugs her from behind, pinning her arms down so she can't hit him. "Ne, ne! Naneun michin-ibnida! I want to die! Just let me go!" She cries out, trying to push Peniel away from her. "If you want to die, I won't let you go." Peniel grits his teeth as she bites his arm. "Hyung, why're you letting her bite you?" I ask and he looks at me. "Because I can't let my classmate die. Sungjae, go get the owner of the apartment complex, tell him his daughter is trying to throw herself off of the roof."
Peniel
I tell Sungjae to go tell her father and suddenly she starts struggling more. "Ani! Ani! Ani! Don't! Please don't, I don't want to die by his hand!" Sungjae freezes and I look down at her. "What did you just say?" "I would rather die by suicide than by his hands! Anything but him!" She starts to panic and I hold her tighter. "What do you mean you'll die by his hands?" "Exactly what I said! Do you remember whenever Min Ki would explode and start yelling about something to me in class? It's because of the abuse I stand everyday!" I'm frozen. "If my grade drops from an A, I get punished. If I stay out too late, I'm punished. If I don't do what that fiend says, I'm punished! Do you understand why I never wore any clothes that showed my skin?" She slides to the ground, I follow her.
